Mango Salsa

Fruit salsas are always such a favorite of mine. If you love the mix of sweet and spicy like I do then this salsa is for you!

THE TWIST

The high content of soluble fiber in mangos makes them a great food to lower the risk of cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. One small mango contains almost all of the daily value of vitamin C, which protects cells from free radical damage and also reduces the risk of cancer. The high vitamin A content in mangos promotes good eyesight, prevents night blindness and itchy eyes. They contain digestive enzymes that help break down proteins and combat acidity. Vitamin E, which is abundant in mangos, helps to boost libido. Since iron is present in mangos they are beneficial for pregnant women and individuals suffering from anemia, plus the vitamin C will enhance iron absorption. Research indicates that mangos help boost memory and concentration in children and if eaten regularly will make the complexion smooth, soft and glowing.
